HUNKY Harry Styles has no ego when the pop Romeo’s around a rock icon like Stevie Nicks, according to spies who say the pair are enjoying a flirty friendship while planning to make music together. “They’re talking about maybe writing a song or two together,” tattles a source. And the age gap between the 30-year-old former One Direction star and the legendary songbird, 76, isn’t a problem, says the insider. Harry recently joined the Fleetwood Mac star on stage at London’s Hyde Park for a rendition of Landslide in memory of Stevie’s late bandmate Christine McVie. “When they’re performing together, the chemistry is palpable,” blabs the snitch. “Obviously, they don’t expect anything romantic to come out of this — nothing’s happened and nothing’s going to happen. “But it’s fair to say…

DAVID’S KISS RILES GALPAL Former X-Files hunk DAVID DUCHOVNY must feel like he’s in a Twilight Zone time warp after his co-star GILLIAN ANDERSON dredged up a past kiss that has his current, 33-years-younger galpal, MONIQUE PENDLEBERRY, fuming. Blabbermouth Gillian, 56, ignited the flap by recalling she kissed David, 64, before her then-boyfriend RODNEY ROWLAND after winning an Emmy for her role in the sci-fi series in 1997. After joking she and David were living together — not true — she says she kissed her co-star “probably because we spent more time together [filming] than with loved ones.” Now he’s trying to explain “a lot of nothing” to jealous Monique, 31, says a source, adding: “David tells her he and Gillian never did the deed, and besides, Monique was in…

MADCAP Martin Short, 74, is back solving mysteries alongside Steve Martin and Selena Gomez in the fourth season of Only Murders in the Building. Critics have praised the zany funnyman as the heartbeat of the Hulu comedy, saying he reins in his wild side for a more nuanced performance. Here are ten things you don’t know about Saturday Night Live’s nerdy Ed Grimley. 1 He was born on the same exact date as R&B singer Teddy Pendergrass. 2 His middle handle, Hayter, is his mother’s maiden name. 3 By the time he was 20, both of his parents were dead — his mom from cancer and his dad from a stroke. 4 The Canadian native graduated from Hamilton’s McMaster University in 1971 with a degree in social work — but…

Microplastics zap male fertility + POLLUTING microplastics may be wrecking more than the environment — they could also be impairing men’s fertility, medical experts fear. A study of guys undergoing implant surgery to address erectile dysfunction found 80 percent of the patients had small polymer fragments in their penile tissue. Meanwhile, another survey discovered 12 different types of microplastics in the testicles of dogs and humans — and the pooches with high levels of the manmade trash had a lower sperm count! Diet drug jabs linked to blindness + THE blind pursuit of thinness may cause users of the weight loss drug semaglutide to permanently lose their vision, a study suggests. Scientists from Massachusetts Eye and Ear hospital say people taking the injectable — a type 2 diabetes drug embraced…

SEXYBACK singer Justin Timberlake has been off hooch since his humiliating DUI arrest, but sources say the booze-craving pop prince is hating every bit of it! “He’s on a strict health regime and trying to crawl back into his wife Jessica Biel’s good books, but he’s not a happy camper,” tattles a tipster. Cops claim the 43-year-old NSYNC stud was plastered when he blew through a stop sign in the Hamptons after partying with pals at a Sag Harbor hotel on June 18. As GLOBE reported, authorities say the Cry Me a River crooner refused to take a breathalyzer and later claimed he had just “one martini.” His lawyers tried to get the case tossed as he pleaded not guilty, but a judge suspended his driving license in New York…

BILLY RAY CYRUS’ one big hit — Achy Breaky Heart, way back in 1992 — is about a jilted dude who feels like he’s gonna die from getting dumped, and maybe that explains his disgusting tirades against the gals in his life. The 63-year-old singer is surrounded by women — ex-wives Cindy Smith, Tish Cyrus and Aussie singer Firerose, daughters Miley, 31, and Noah, 24, and stepdaughter Brandi, 37. And if recent, shocking revelations are a true example of his behavior, he’s been a bullying slug to all of them. As GLOBE revealed, an audiotape surfaced where Billy Ray goes ballistic on his most recent ex, Firerose, who at 35 is just four years older than his superstar kid Miley. He divorced Firerose after just seven months of marriage, but…

RAY LIOTTA nabbed the lead in the iconic 1990 gangster movie Goodfellas because of what director Martin Scorsese called “his explosive energy,” and raging bull ROBERT DE NIRO was cast to ensure the film’s funding. But the poor guys had to take a back seat to JOE PESCI — who stole the show in a much smaller role! The unforgettably threatening “Funny how? Do I amuse you?” scene came out of Pesci improvising something that actually happened to him when he was working as a waiter and chatted up the wrong mobster!…

The catty songbirds, both 55, have been feuding since the early 2000s when Mimi famously snubbed J.Lo, claiming, “I don’t know her.” “Mariah can’t let go of her grudge against J.Lo, it’s been over 20 years, and it’s still burning as hot as ever,” spills a spy. Sources snitch Carey is feeling “very superior” since more dates have been added to her Las Vegas residency, and a 20-city concert tour is set for November and December to celebrate the 30th anniversary of her holiday classic All…

FUNKY Tom Cruise has had a perspiration problem for years, leaving his shirts soaked through — and pals are saying it’s the pits! As these photos show, the 62-year-old Top Gun: Maverick star looked sweaty and clammy, his underarms soaked, as he cheered on Team USA at the Paris Olympics — and sources snitch to GLOBE his beastly B.O. is one of the main reasons for his lack of luck with the ladies! “Tom seems to be totally in denial,” sniffs an insider. “He’s always been a pretty sweaty guy, but lately it seems to have gotten even worse — and he’s doing nothing to try and address it! “He’ll be out and be totally drenched and not seem to even notice, but of course the people around him are…

FLORIDA dentist Dr. Esha Persad is charged with battery by burrito after cops say she blasted her husband with some Taco Bell! According to court records, Persad, 34, was thinking outside the bun when she bought a big spread of Taco Bell and McDonald’s for her husband’s birthday. But sometime after midnight, tempers got spicy over the fast-food feast. That’s when the dentist allegedly lobbed a burrito or a soft-shell taco — the police report mentions both — at the 35-year-old birthday boy, whose name was concealed by cops. The Tex-Mex missile struck the man “on the right side of the face,” according to the report. It must have had extra guac, because it was still glued to the victim’s face when the police arrived at the couple’s St. Petersburg…

PREENING pretty bird Apollo is a talky TikTok influencer — and now the gabby African grey parrot holds the world record for correctly identifying the most items in just three minutes! The red-tailed, chalk-faced mimic broke the record — and the internet — by naming 12 items at warp speed, including “sock,” “block,” “cork” and “bottle.” “Want a pistach? Want a pistach?” prodded his owner, 25-year-old Dalton Mason, showing the beady-eyed bird the prized pistachio nut that could be his if the four-year-old winged wonder aced the verbal challenge. Apollo was up to the task! With his eyes pinwheeling excitedly, he reeled off four correct answers in a row to earn his first pistach, followed by more lightning rounds. “Book,” he said in a somber voice at the sight of a…

IF THE two NASA astronauts stranded in space try to return to Earth in the faulty Boeing Starliner spaceship, they could end up vaporized or floating helplessly in space until they die of starvation or lack of oxygen, warn experts. Rocketeers Sunita Williams, 58, and Butch Wilmore, 61, were supposed to visit the International Space Station for just eight days after their Boeing Starliner rocket docked on June 5. But defects with the Starliner’s thrusters have marooned them at least until September or — worst case scenario — next February, says NASA. And that’s not the bad news. Experts say the Starliner has problems in the service module, the ship’s control center that runs the thrusters, power and life support like water and oxygen — and also aligns the craft for…
